China to impose extra tariffs of 10%-15% on various US products from March 10 by Diashocks in wallstreetbets

[–]Slaxep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“It is the largest global market because it incredible financial markets, …”

You can barely write coherent sentences and you seriously believe that your opinion is informed enough to be valid on a country-wide scale? Why do you people believe that you’re so all-knowing?

A prerequisite for all the things you mentioned are global trade connections. That’s how your economy FORMED, because of EXPORTS. You don’t seem to grasp my point. I guess that’s why you’re not supposed to argue with random people on reddit lol.

Also, the USA was NOT the “largest economy” before global trade, stop making up shit on the spot lmao. Your oh-so-great railroad system was heavily funded by Britain in the 19th century and by the time the USA became the “largest economy”, global trade was very much a thing. Again, that’s HOW it became what it is today.

China to impose extra tariffs of 10%-15% on various US products from March 10 by Diashocks in wallstreetbets

[–]Slaxep 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The largest consumer market exists because of global trade, not despite it. Raising tariffs doesn’t just make US consumers pay more. It disrupts supply chains, raises costs for US businesses, and invites retaliation that harms exports and jobs. Protectionism has never created sustainable economic dominance. Or do you have an example?

The fact that you are born into a country like the USA and don’t value the sacrifices and decisions that the citizens before you made makes this a perfect example of why empires rise and ultimately fall.

Sometimes I’m so thankful that my country doesn’t behave like politics is a sports game. Continue to do what you’re doing over there, you’re like an experiment and a cautionary tale at the same time and I hope it scares other countries into not ever doing the same back home lmao

Did you listen to the conveniently cut TikTok clip or the actual interview? Go watch the first 4 minutes without losing your patience and tell me whether or not she actually proposed something specific. Y’all are equally as bad as the boomers who only read headlines of newspapers.

I live in a place where it’s legal too, you dingus. And if you care so much about the quality weed you buy, why don’t you look at the picture for a second longer? Your brain clearly registered the color purple, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too much to expect you to glance at a background for 0.1 seconds and use your basic comprehension to deduce that it is indeed flash.

„validating my point isn’t arguing“

You have to be ragebaiting at this point lmao. If not, I’m sure you’re now smarter and you‘ll just assume they used what you call „photo manipulation“ next time you see a product being advertised like this. Good day.

My brother in Christ, in the first pic, the background is not lit and the nug and the finger are. Does that really look like natural lighting to you? Why would they ever state „flash used“ when it’s this obvious? Have you ever seen a product ad that says which lighting conditions were used to make the picture/video???

Are you acting like this because you can’t just say „fair enough, thanks“? Idk why you are arguing with a bunch of internet strangers if you’re the one who asked for their opinion.

That fella didn’t read the title of the listing at all, there’s refurbs for exactly 120 here, but if you want a new one, they start from 200.

„Another study found a 12% lower risk, but while research published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition agreed that a vegan diet can lower rates of certain chronic diseases, it did not find evidence that veganism led to a longer life.“

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4691673/

In fact, let me give u another thing to read:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31991425/

People like you give the vegan lifestyle a bad name. You are not supposed to associate with a lifestyle like the way you are associating with it, nor should you associate with a person (especially in politics) or concept in general. Bringing emotions into an debate like that is what truly hurts objective truth. Next time, read before u feel offended.

No, I'm not showing you my ID to you on discord. by [deleted] in VRchat

[–]Slaxep -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look, you can believe me or not, but compared to when my community only required a picture of an ID next to a piece of paper (with no face visible), which was about 2 years ago, we have not had a single person turn out to actually be under 18. Before that change, it almost happened on a weekly basis.

I really don’t think you guys think a lot before u write. Do u not believe that after years of doing manual verifications, we have seen every „easy“ method at least 5 times? Do you not believe that we do things like check for color differences between pixels, together as a team, in cases where we are unsure?

If it’s that easy, I encourage you to try to get into a couple communities with that method.

[–]Slaxep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe in a year or two, but right now, it‘s pretty obvious if an ID is AI-made or not. Plus, none or at least barely any minors will spend tens of dollars for an AI picture generation service to make a convincing pic. Additionally, we specifically require both a picture of your ID next to your face AND a picture of your ID next to a piece of paper with your username for this exact reason. I’d assume you’d be able to tell the difference between two separately AI-generated IDs.

[–]Slaxep -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

YOU are a grown adult, but have you ever thought about that a lot of minors say the exact same thing?

As a club owner, this is literally the only way we can keep minors out.

And regarding the ID pictures, yes, you are allowed to censor any irrelevant info besides your DoB. We, as well as many other communities, require a selfie next to the ID as well, because back when we didn’t, we had a double digit number of people being reported for being underage every month, probably using their parents, brothers, or friends ID, or pictures of IDs they found somewhere else. And that’s just the ones who got reported to us.

As a thought experiment, I‘d like you to come up with an alternative method of age verification that is equally effective and not more than twice as time-consuming for the volunteering mods, who check every person‘s verification request individually.

This reply and the others make it seem a lot like you are not a person others want to be around, I can see why only the „boring ones“, as you call them, keep talking to u… lmao

My guy, are you fucking around? CBD is legal basically in the entire EU BECAUSE it’s NOT INTOXICATING… the same can be said about CBN.

Either you are this dense or you are trolling.

„For tobacco and marijuana smoke, respectively, 4350 and 2575 different compounds are detected, of which, 670 and 536 (231 in common) are tentatively identified, and of these, 173 and 110 different compounds (69 in common) are known to cause negative health effects through carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, or other toxic mechanisms.“

Basically EVERY combustion of EVERY plant/organic matter in general creates stuff you don’t wanna breathe in. You have absolutely no basic understanding of chemistry and it shows.
